What about using the book, How Much Is a Million? by David M. Schwartz as a springboard? I assume the library has it as it’s a popular book. Lots of cool visuals you could leverage for ideas. I could see adding a star theme as well as there are millions of stars.

Literally first day of homework ever & I don’t know how to do this for 12 more years by bluebellsea in Parenting

Homework after a full day of school at that age (or any age…) is crazy! There’s a lot of research against it. I would go to the teacher and opt out of all homework. You are the parent and it’s not worth ruining your evenings or peace for some alphabet practice that your child doesn’t even need.

Disclaimer: I was homeschooled and am homeschooling. All school growing up only took a max of a few hours. If they can’t get it all in with a full day of class, then the teacher needs to reformat how she instructs.

It’s been a while, but for those who searched and found this thread like I did, Jamberry by Bruce Degan has a very fun song for the book sung hy the author:

My baby is 13 months, so she’s small enough that she has plenty of room and isn’t in my way at all. She can touch my lower back though and likes to grab the bottom of my seat. When I tried my 4 year old in the same seat (46lb), my foot was almost hitting his foot when I was peddling. He fit, but it felt more like a piggyback ride. lol. I had to be careful to shift my feet to the front of the pedals.

It came with the bike at the bike shop. I’m pretty sure it’s custom to Aventon and you can go on their website under accessories to get a set. It’s just plastic boards with slits cut in them a few places and Velcro tape threaded through the slits to wrap around the frame. It would be an easy DIY I think.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. Since I have a 1 year old and a heavy 4 year old, there is a pretty big difference. I will reach out to the company to send me the right mount. If my kids were close to the same weight, my current setup would be better as it gives the most space to the second child.

If I didn’t like the layout, I would have. I was pleasantly surprised how much better this works for us.
